Driving would be more difficult and more dangerous without our properly-adjusted rear vision mirrors. While driving, we use the broad view through the windscreen as we move ahead, but we also use the rear view mirrors for reference, making quick, periodic glances into them for information to aid us in driving decisions. Reversing or changing lanes would be hazardous without them.Continue reading →

The guillemot is the common name for several species of seabird in the auk family. The small arctic seabird lives on the rocky cliffs of northern coastal regions, breeding on narrow cliff ledges in dense colonies that vary in size from some hundred pairs to hundreds of thousands of pairs.

Because of the crowded conditions, hundreds of females lay their pear shaped eggs side by side on a narrow ledge, in long rows. The eggs all look alike, and yet the mother bird can identify her own eggs. Studies show that even when the eggs are moved, the mother knows her egg so well, that she will find it and return it to its original location.

Awards Free Blog

I sincerely thank my readers for all the awards I have received on this blog. I have made the decision to become an AWARD FREE BLOG for two reasons. Firstly, my time here is limited and I prefer to spend that time writing posts, reading others’ posts and responding in comments. Secondly, as a blood-bought, adopted child of the living God, my aim here is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and testify of the reality of His blessings. I write as He directs and all glory is due to Him.
